"I am very happy to have found him alert and responsive. We joked as always. He has not lost his proverbial sense of humor." This was stated by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni , who today visited Pope Francis, hospitalized at Gemelli Hospital.

The Prime Minister, explains a note from Palazzo Chigi, "went to the Policlinico Gemelli to visit the Holy Father and on that occasion expressed her wishes for a speedy recovery, on behalf of the Government and the entire Nation."

According to the latest medical bulletin released by the Holy See, Pope Francis is suffering from bilateral pneumonia and his clinical conditions "continue to present a complex picture."

«The polymicrobial infection, which arose in a context of bronchiectasis and asthmatic bronchitis, and which required

the use of antibiotic cortisone therapy makes the therapeutic treatment more complex", it was explained to the

journalists.
